Her Ruins, Her Curse

This series is inspired by the concept of space medicine, aiming to create a healing space where the spiritual and the physical intertwine. Chengyu Yao hopes that when women enter this space and encounter these paintings, they can feel a deep sense of comfort and restoration.
​
Each piece is created through automatic drawing, a process in which Yao channels subconscious energy into visual form while in a meditative state. These images are infused with blessings and healing forces, and are redefined by the artist as “talismans”—a concept rooted in Taoist tradition, where such symbols are believed to ward off evil. Here, the talisman becomes a visual emblem of protection and empowerment.
​
These works serve not only as spiritual icons but also as vessels of energy. They respond to themes of trauma, memory, and rebirth, weaving spells of resistance and consolation through soft and intuitive brushstrokes.

本繫列作品受“太空醫學”理唸啟髮，旨在構建一個精神與身體交織的治愈空間。姚承語希望，當女性走進這個空間，麵對這些畫作時，能夠感受到深刻的慰藉與修複。

每一幅畫都通過自動繪畫的方式完成，是姚承語在冥想狀態中將潛意識的能量具象化的過程。這些畫麵承載着祝福與療愈的力量，被藝術家重新定義爲“護身符”——這一概唸源於道教傳統，護身符原用於避邪驅噁，在此被轉化爲保護與賦權的視覺象徵。

這些作品既是精神符號，也是能量的容器，它們回應着創傷、記憶與重生的主題，在柔軟的筆觸中織入抵抗與安慰的咒語。
